00:02:10.260 i've read the full manga series now moving uh i've watched it years ago but i'm going to re-watch it

00:02:15.900 for when we do it beautiful beautiful great great series the first feature-length animes of one of

00:02:21.660 the first feature-length animes yeah certainly the one uh one of the ones that got big in the west

00:02:25.280 inspired the matrix inspired the whole cyberpunk thing many many many the first one i ever saw

00:02:30.580 back in the 90s look you've seen it yeah oh akira that's all yeah it's great it's brilliant

00:02:37.720 so we've got a laugh out of someone clean that someone clip that

00:02:42.580 all right well motorbike slide iconic scene gotta be done gotta be done right well let's talk about the

00:02:50.500 grooming gang uh inquiry collapsing sadly sadly so this was announced in june and the inquiry into

00:03:01.060 grooming gangs was a pretty reluctant step from the labor party and they had mounting pressure

00:03:07.780 basically from all sides and then it was the casey report um i'm pretty sure it was the casey report

00:03:13.540 that basically blew a lid on that and the mountain pressure from all sides basically forced their hand

00:03:18.260 um and they then said yep sure we'll do it

00:03:22.660 but they're not really doing it are they they're not really doing it unfortunately to be expected

00:03:30.760 so we're going to have a nice little journey through this as this has developed because there's a little

00:03:36.000 bit more than just there's been some updates so we're going to kind of track the timeline i guess to

00:03:42.180 a degree so two survivors quit and these are actual survivors these are people who have suffered uh

00:03:52.260 sort of incomprehensible things uh which were brought upon them by policy uh it was wholly avoidable

00:04:00.900 remember that this was wholly avoidable we didn't have to flood this country with pakistanis 1.00

00:04:06.740 so basically you've got fiona goddard and ellie reynolds these two uh individuals uh quit and they 0.89

00:04:16.340 basically said there's a cover-up so it's a cover-up there was toxic environment for the survivors

00:04:24.260 and remember this was announced in june july pretty soon it was june and they still don't have

00:04:32.580 someone to lead it there's no chair person and every single individual that they have proposed

00:04:41.460 is a member of an element of infrastructure which has failed our women and children right our women

00:04:51.020 and girls and so obviously they were like well no because you're part of the system we don't want you 1.00

00:04:58.440 to chair this because that's that would be bad you would obviously have a hand or or no tangentially

00:05:07.240 someone who could have been involved in this and by that there's a conflict of interest there like

00:05:13.080 having an ex-police chief that's exactly sort of person you don't really want isn't it that was one of

00:05:18.920 the people's right yeah yeah yeah um which is not what you want and if people remember um jess phillips

00:05:26.360 didn't want this inquiry at all at one point wasn't there's a window of time where she was just saying

00:05:31.160 no we're not doing it no that's a no from us yeah and then had to sort of 180 on that because of so

00:05:36.280 much pressure but um we'll get to jess for none of the establishment want it but particularly labor

00:05:42.840 particularly labor yeah don't want it for a few reasons as well like i guess sort of great segue um

00:05:49.480 is of course a lot of labor's heartlands which were traditionally the red wall they have flooded

00:05:57.160 with pakistanis pakistani muslims there's a really important key element there and jess phillips being

00:06:03.960 one of them who barely scraped by at the last election barely scraped by i think a majority is

00:06:11.560 under 100 isn't it i don't i don't know whether it's under 100 but it wasn't a big majority like it was

00:06:17.560 genuinely like a coin toss be a coin toss and you know jess jess phillips got heckled uh you know when 0.98

00:06:25.160 she was doing her sort of acceptance speech obviously by certain individuals pakistani muslims

00:06:31.640 uh i didn't call it out obviously no no it was just men yeah some men she will lose her seat next 1.00

00:06:37.480 time 100 i'd put my mortgage on that 100 she will not be an mp at the next parliament no way yeah no i i

00:06:44.440 would agree with that this is her swan song in politics yeah sure and this is what she'll be

00:06:48.600 known as yeah this and how tragic is that the minister for safeguarding uh women and children

00:06:55.720 we don't know what the exact title is but this is basically her remit will be known it'll go down in

00:07:00.200 history as effectively the individual that has presided over another bogus inquiry well done

00:07:08.040 yeah brilliant well done well done thanks for nothing jess yeah absolutely fantastic so

00:07:16.040 some key take homes from this um jess phillips has obviously denied that there's a cover-up uh

00:07:23.560 committed to exposing the failures probably not absolute bs uh and something which uh

00:07:30.920 we are picked up on when we've covered this elsewhere on the set politics um is that their

00:07:37.800 new line is is going to be laser focused laser focused and that's something which every single

00:07:43.560 minister who's been spoke you know has been asked this that's the line that they trot out so definitely

00:07:49.720 have been a home office communications meeting yeah we're saying laser like focus everyone remember

00:07:55.960 that say that over and over again yeah that's their that's the dialogue that they've all been told

00:08:01.800 that's what we're going to say that's our that's our wording on this um but and now a fourth survivor

00:08:08.120 has quit so it's not just three it's now four right and again mahmood mahmood she's definitely going to

00:08:17.320 be unbiased isn't she uh insists it won't be watered down and the reason why they're talking about

00:08:23.160 it being watered down and effectively broadening the scope and basically uh collapsing the inquiry

00:08:30.200 is they they've been asked a whole bunch of questions to say hey uh should this also include

00:08:37.000 just like random other bits and pieces as well well no because then that wouldn't be a grooming

00:08:41.240 gang inquiry would it just all types of other sex crime yeah basically it's like well no that's not

00:08:47.240 that's not the point the point of this is and we've spoken about this and said that this is

00:08:52.520 completely redundant anyway right it may it may be an element of catharsis to the victims which i i

00:08:57.560 accept but we all know who's doing it like we all know who's doing it we've known for years well this

00:09:03.880 is another method of kicking the can down the road exactly wasting everybody's time and if they are

00:09:09.320 and if yeah and they if they are going to expand it out like you're suggesting that they're thinking of

00:09:13.960 um one of the worries that i was having thinking about all of this was that it would go the same

00:09:19.560 way as the 2020 um sex crimes inquiry i forget who it was that headed that was that pretty patel yeah 0.98

00:09:25.400 i think so so this is exactly the same thing because i was broadening the scope in the same in that one

00:09:30.360 back in 2020 all of the headlines were something to look to the effect of it turns out that it's not all

00:09:37.720 it's not majority these people it's mainly white people doing this it's mainly white people and the

00:09:42.840 way that you found that if you went through the paper that they released was in like the introductions

00:09:48.600 to it where it doesn't go through any of the actual data but in the introductions

00:09:52.520 the editorializing tells you well what we found was that it was majority white english or white

00:09:57.640 british people who were conducting the majority of the sex crimes in this country without breaking

00:10:03.000 it down any further than that but then if you actually went deeper into the text the part where

00:10:07.000 clearly the tabloids had ignored it it was giving the actual breakdown of statistics where you found

00:10:12.120 that oh no actually there is a massive over representation of middle east and asian on this

00:10:18.440 very specific kind of uh sex crime basically right isn't it yes in terms of grooming gangs gangs

00:10:26.360 organized specifically to groom and assault young girls they were massively over represented and also

00:10:32.760 young women who are the uh most at risk the most sort of at risk for these things you know they

00:10:42.120 they would potentially be in a care system or you know they're in care homes or you're from broken

00:10:46.600 families these kind of things and so they're very very very specific and yes they want to water it

00:10:51.160 down in the same way so they can broaden the scope of it and hide it so that again we can get the

00:10:55.960 headlines of now it'll be national grooming gang inquiry the thing that people have been asking for for ages 0.74

00:11:01.400 reveals that it's majority white british people committing sex crimes across the country

00:11:05.880 and then they will ignore the fact that the actual data is hit buried deep within the inquiry paper 0.72

00:11:11.560 whatever gets released off the back of this the per capita yeah it's a completely different story

00:11:18.040 yeah completely different story yeah and this is exactly what they're doing so that's i guess why

00:11:23.160 they're trying to broaden the scope is exactly that same principle right so the data that they

00:11:27.880 gleam from this uh inquiry doesn't incriminate their client class who are going to vote you out

00:11:34.040 anyway so you might as well do something that's actually morally just for once right because you

00:11:40.440 voted out you're going to be gone so you might as well go out where history remembers you 0.97

00:11:47.720 not as complete scumbags but that's what they're trying to do so too late for that the other thing i'll 0.81

00:11:53.160 quickly say is that these survivors that have decided to quit the inquiry can you imagine for 0.96

00:11:59.720 them what it's like is that finally after a lifetime yeah a lifetime you finally hopefully going to get

00:12:06.040 your moment and it's being the rugs being pulled out from under your feet yeah to the point where you

00:12:13.320 can't even continue it yeah yeah but you feel like you can't even go on anymore with your what should

00:12:20.760 have been would have been some sort of small redress of the injustice and you've been screwed over

00:12:28.120 so badly that you feel like you have to quit they must have felt i can only you can only infer that

00:12:33.720 they must have felt that it's not like a little bit watered down it's not like a little bit of a cover

00:12:38.600 up it's completely otherwise they wouldn't they you would have thought anyway i don't know what goes on in

00:12:43.480 their decision making matrix but you know they they must feel that this is being uh completely

00:12:50.440 subverted yeah otherwise they wouldn't i would have thought probably wouldn't have just quit and

00:12:54.360 walked away from it well you think so you you can only infer that they view it as an exercise in

00:13:01.160 futility right because otherwise you would do something if they saw some inherent value in pursuing it

00:13:06.760 they wouldn't just up up and leave you would think so yeah that their actions are predicated on that

00:13:12.360 so this then happened uh late yesterday uh this is again just another individual and this kind of

00:13:20.360 for those just listening one of the candidates that was going to be you know for to lead this was again

00:13:26.520 just director of children's services and it's like well there's no point in someone like that being a

00:13:32.840 part of it you are part of the establishment you are part of the infrastructure you want someone

00:13:39.240 who's completely unrelated to anything like that right and this is what they kept putting forward with

00:13:46.040 because they still don't have anyone to lead the inquiry again it was announced in june i mean that

00:13:51.640 alone is just a complete clown show it's farcical if you actually wanted to do it you get it done pretty

00:13:57.320 quickly all right you'd have someone appointed pretty much prior to even announcing it you'd be like

00:14:02.040 this person's going to be doing it let's go it's already been announced you know they've

00:14:06.360 already been approved they're going ahead it's all good it's like exactly the wrong person someone

00:14:10.680 that was a director of children's services no yeah an ex-police cop no an old labor counselor

00:14:17.720 from rochdale yeah no yeah no i'm sure there's plenty of sort of truly independent fair-minded peers

00:14:25.800 in the house of lords i'm sure there's plenty of them they could have picked one or picked one

00:14:30.280 before you even yeah set this thing off so you can hit the ground running yeah you think so but

00:14:35.160 this whole thing is is an exercise in in um prevarication yeah well it is it's just a form

00:14:43.560 of filibustering again right kicking the can down the road i have just read on the side of this

00:14:49.480 guardian article because it's live because obviously we're recording this on wednesday

00:14:53.240 um and pmq's just gone out as well um starmer has now announced that louise casey will join the

00:15:00.120 grooming gangs inquiry i mean that's something i guess something we can't get too into that

00:15:08.520 obviously i don't know that much this is just updating it the politics it moves fast it moves fast

00:15:14.120 um so obviously if something comes from that i'm sure we'll update this

00:15:19.000 um but then i want to get to the general response which has probably led to starmer doing that

00:15:27.000 and uh oh who's this jess phillips our our best mate here jess phillips 1.00

00:15:32.840 and i just want you to i want you to listen to her tone i want you to listen

00:15:38.600 oh yeah unfortunately well i know it'll make you hate her even more

00:15:41.960 all right and i think it's important sometimes to look look these people in the eye and just see how

00:15:46.760 contemptible they are right because these are the people that are in charge you want to make sure

00:15:51.000 that these individuals never get in power ever again so and just just yeah well just over to you jess

00:16:03.160 oh brilliant i'm not i'm suggesting that i will listen completely and utterly to the feedback from

00:16:08.600 the victims that were and are still are on that they are not spreading misinformation at all but what

00:16:15.480 the his interpretation is a brilliant case in point because i will be completely honest the

00:16:21.480 conversation with oldham is do we not think it might be better for them just to take part in a statutory

00:16:27.800 inquiry that it is absolutely nothing to do with the idea that oldham is telling me what to do and the

00:16:35.960 more people from that side oh he can hold up his paper and have a smug face all he likes but the fact of the matter is

00:16:43.960 is that there is absolutely no council in this country who will tell this inquiry where it can

00:16:52.680 and cannot go i have said that one million times from this dispatch box and yet the same thing gets

00:17:01.560 peddled again and again

00:17:04.200 the victims of these crimes were vulnerable children who were ignored and who were gaslit

00:17:12.920 and who were dismissed two women have now resigned two victims have now resigned because of this process

00:17:19.320 and their lack of failure in the process and yet what i hear from the minister appears to me to be an

00:17:24.200 aggressive and defensive tone does she regret the fact is she going to listen well is she going remember

00:17:30.440 these people watching is she going to listen to the victims and does she regret that these two

00:17:35.000 individuals have resigned from the process i absolutely regret that they have resigned from a

00:17:42.360 process the process that funnily enough so just phillips there answering yeah minister she said it a million 1.00

00:17:51.400 times is she though a million times um yeah i mean she's the definition of of obnoxious karen i mean it's much 0.83

00:17:59.160 worse than merely obnoxious karen it's much much much much more pernicious than than that um 1.00

00:18:07.720 i wonder what goes through these people's heads what what do you think you're doing

00:18:12.440 what do you think you're engaged in by just trying to defend her own position her own career her own 1.00

00:18:17.800 party the the home office that she's a minister of just that it's not about what really happens

00:18:24.520 it's not about the truth it's not about ripping the plaster off and finally talking honestly

00:18:29.400 about this it's not about that for her obviously so despicable despicable behavior i think i think 0.99

00:18:37.480 i think one of the issues is is that because parliament is such a farce

00:18:41.000 right when you have pmqs and people just stand there and it's the sort of theatrics element it

00:18:45.800 that's just it is a farce that's farcical right all the questions are pretty much given in advance

00:18:50.280 they have their responses basically in advance it's just theatrics it's absolute just theatrical

00:18:55.160 nonsense no one cares no one's actually being serious it's a very unserious process so when you

00:19:00.360 do actually have to deal with serious things when the proverbial hits the fan they don't know what to

00:19:06.920 do they don't know how to act and they sort of fall back on screeching yeah and it's just

00:19:14.280 as you say worse than obnoxious karen isn't it i mean if you want to project strength that's not 0.99

00:19:19.960 the way to do it no no that's not someone in control is it that's a nursery teacher losing

00:19:24.200 control of the toddlers yeah it absolutely is yeah that's a good analogy like that i mean parliament

00:19:29.000 is by its nature like a court in the sense that it is adversarial you've got sort of a prosecution and

00:19:36.200 offense sort of thing and you are supposed to of course especially if you're a member of the

00:19:40.120 government you're a front bench government minister or something of course you're supposed to defend

00:19:44.920 your party and your your policies and all that sort of thing but uh to be so badly partisan

00:19:51.560 that you're just screeching at people asking you questions good times man over something so

00:19:57.240 terrible as this again what do you what do you think you're doing yeah where do you think you are

00:20:03.160 who do you think you're talking to you should be humbling yourself yeah these are victims

00:20:06.520 victims right of like awful things that have been gone on and still going on today

00:20:11.800 all right there are current victims watching this right now who will be going well my life is

00:20:16.680 completely screwed i'm never i'm never going to get out of this situation because it still happens 0.63

00:20:20.520 right now we talk about it in a historical sense still happening right now so can you imagine that the

00:20:27.800 people going through it at this very point in time may catch a glimpse of this and just go all

00:20:32.840 hopes completely lost i mean it was only a couple of months ago one of the the the you know previous

00:20:37.720 victim historical victim exited this realm by their own accord as a result of the harm that they've

00:20:44.920 been put in and had to endure yeah can you imagine if again if you're a victim of it right now and you

00:20:50.840 see the government minister that's in charge of it and she's more concerned that somebody asked her a

00:20:55.960 question in a smug way that's what she's concerned about that's what she's angry about that yeah how dare you be

00:21:01.880 smug like no mate no you don't have her mind well i mean ultimately people like jess phillips have

00:21:08.520 gained social power through their entire career through various different levels of tone policing

00:21:15.560 yeah yeah that's true because that's how certain women express power and try to control other people 1.00

00:21:22.760 through social shaming and tone policing as such like you say when she's got nothing else to fall back 0.99

00:21:28.280 on she she reverts to type yeah yeah absolutely that's her true colors that's who she really is

00:21:35.240 a really aggressive obnoxious partisan karen that's what she is she is yeah 100 100 so 1.00

00:21:45.080 this is one of the victims the historical victims uh and they basically just came with receipts this is

00:21:50.840 fiona goddard um who has left the inquiry and she basically came with receipts i'm not going to read

00:21:57.400 the whole thing obviously but some of it's important and she just says my response to jess phillips i don't

00:22:02.120 know why she's saying my claims are untrue when she knows i have the evidence to prove it so this is

00:22:06.920 someone basically lying in parliament now which is that's a big no-no jess um basically as it says for

00:22:15.560 first time concerns were raised around expansion of the inquiry scope beyond the grooming gangs was during a

00:22:20.360 meeting where survivors of all kinds of uh cse child sexual sexual exploitation not just grooming gangs

00:22:27.400 were invited to a meeting with the mayor of west yorkshire to discuss the terms of reference for the

00:22:31.960 national inquiry there should be no one else invited to the inquiry you should be no one else invited to

00:22:38.360 the meetings no one involved in any other kind of child sexual sexual exploitation they've had their

00:22:43.400 inquiries they've had their hearings they've had all of this right grooming gangs haven't this was

00:22:50.200 supposed to be solely about them and yet they're they're just by that very virtue they're widening

00:22:56.840 the scope shouldn't be involved they've got nothing to add well again each of those individual cases

00:23:02.280 because if it's child sexual exploitation in general then that will include many many dozens of if not

00:23:08.120 hundreds and thousands of individual cases each one of those is a tragedy no one's going to diminish

00:23:13.160 that the point of the grooming gangs whether or not people want to say it out loud is to discover

00:23:18.920 how widespread the targeted racial profiling of white british girls by foreign grooming gangs is how

00:23:28.920 widespread is that we want to know that that's what we need to know and again trying to broaden the

00:23:35.800 scope of that is just a way of trying to water down and obfuscate that yeah yeah yeah exactly a home

00:23:42.360 office communications team can come out and say that it's it's laser-like focus but it kind of clearly

00:23:50.280 isn't it seems like it just isn't yeah if there are if there's anyone else involved in it that is not

00:23:55.160 from grooming gangs then yeah no that's not laser focused and how is that literally not um so there's a

00:24:00.920 little bit more here later she was invited to join the victim survivors panel to help steer the terms

00:24:05.640 of reference for the inquiry again the panel included more survivors of other cse not related

00:24:11.880 to grooming gangs on the panel it was noteworthy that only survivors who were not impacted by grooming

00:24:17.000 gangs and those that we knew had close relations to jess phillips were the only people pushing for

00:24:21.960 the scope of the inquiry to be pushed to all kinds of cse so not laser focus directly ties back to jess

00:24:28.040 phillips directly ties back to jess phillips shortly after uh this individual was added to the panel

00:24:34.280 she got an email saying we were about you know to be consulted on the terms of reference

00:24:38.760 and one of the questions on the agenda should the inquiry have an explicit focus on grooming gangs

00:24:44.520 or group-based cse or take a broader approach so it's a blatant lie for jess phillips to suggest

00:24:51.240 as she has done in her letter that it is untrue that there has been a possibility or conversation

00:24:56.920 around expanding the scope beyond grooming gangs jess phillips also denies that the government has

00:25:00.920 sought to take regional approach to investigations this is a lie in the meeting with the mayor of

00:25:05.960 west yorkshire mentioned earlier alison lowe the deputy mayor said that she quote did not want a

00:25:11.080 review anywhere in west yorkshire and bradford's uh is in west yorkshire end quote though she later

00:25:17.640 changed her position no truly national review would entertain the idea of having areas opt out of an

00:25:23.560 investigation especially an area like bradford obviously so there's that obvious what they're

00:25:29.560 trying to do there uh yeah so very very obvious um uh so this is this is actually parts of the email

00:25:37.720 basically as you can see number three should the inquiry this is the email should the inquiry have an

00:25:43.640 explicit focus on grooming gangs or group-based cse or take a broader approach right well that's not

00:25:48.840 laser focus then is it here's some more stuff a meeting with a refusal to hold an investigation

00:25:54.840 which then turned into a regional investigation instead of just an investigation of bradford

00:25:58.920 says there quote i do not want to review anywhere in west yorkshire and bradford is obviously in west

00:26:04.120 yorkshire oh there's some more jess phillips also claims that the inquiry is independent of the home

00:26:11.160 office that she had no idea who was on the panel that she had no knowledge of the scope being

00:26:15.480 expanded none of this is true because this individual raised her concerns personally with

00:26:20.840 jess personally with jess and here you have it here

00:26:27.640 sorry literally a text but if it's supposed to be about grooming gangs why is the charity that the

00:26:31.880 home office has set up to consult with survivors just sent out the agenda for the questions that

00:26:35.320 are going to be asked and one is about the expansion to a broader approach let's see what

00:26:39.880 jess has said in response i don't want you to misunderstand the reason for the question is because

00:26:44.200 there have been differing views and we want you to be able to give a clear steer on what you want

00:26:48.440 i know it's hard they can only ever push things away from themselves can they can only ever kick the

00:26:53.400 can they can never take responsibility themselves this is one of the reasons i absolutely despise

00:26:58.040 government bureaucrats when you say it'll make me hate jess phillips even more you are right but

00:27:02.520 there's only so much that a drop has an effect on an ocean i know i know it's hard to trust but i can

00:27:07.640 promise you no one is trying to manipulate the response and it's my view blah blah blah no no literally no

00:27:13.880 i don't why should anybody believe you yeah literally came with all the receipts so that's

00:27:19.320 where we're at jess phillips now has an untenable position as that minister will she will she be 1.00

00:27:25.400 fired no probably not because queer starmer is just a clown this whole labor government is a clown 1.00

00:27:32.120 you can't hate them enough but maybe just a little bit more you can hate him from this 0.99

00:27:38.200 all right then may i have the mouse no well i'm taking it anyway nothing that you want the little

00:27:46.600 box uh no i don't like the little box i'll keep my box yeah you can you keep hold of it don't you

00:27:52.120 worry about that anyway so we've got quite a few rumble rants and super chats we'll go through those

00:27:57.800 first of all the shadow band said harry is weeping out well this is a series that i've been looking

00:28:02.600 forward to for a long while like i said we expanded the scope so it's not just manga so we can talk about

00:28:07.160 all sorts of pop culture and also culture in general over there because it's a fascinating

00:28:11.880 place but i prefer um orientalist to weeb um sigil stone says morning gents how do you celebrate

00:31:18.200 encourage violence or anything like that but i can understand where the irish are coming from

00:31:22.520 particularly with this story that i'm going to go over but first reminder to everybody if you want to

00:31:27.720 know right from wrong if you want to know how to order your life in a virtuous manner then you might

00:31:32.520 be interested in stelios's ancient greek virtue ethics course which is currently on sale at

00:31:38.120 courses.lotusseaters.com you can pay for it in 325 pounds all at once or you can split it into three

00:31:45.480 manageable payments of 108 pounds and 34 pence nice and precise there it's a huge huge course

00:31:52.120 stelios worked very very hard on it well worth your time and money so please give that a look in if

00:31:57.720 you're interested so this story starts here with this news story from monday and yesterday tuesday

00:32:06.600 where it's reported on nice and accurately here by the bbc not trying to hide anything further down

00:32:14.040 in the article where it's a story of a man in court charged with sexually assaulting a 10 year old girl

00:32:20.440 so sadly across the west this is a common story this is not a man this isn't yeah a man where men

00:32:26.680 men men with no further descriptions go around abusing young girls indiscriminately brilliant

00:32:33.960 and they report in here that a man has appeared in court in dublin charged with sexually assaulting

00:32:38.520 a 10 year old girl who was in the care of the irish child and family agency tulsa uh tusla so great job

00:32:46.680 making sure that this young girl was protected and had safeguarding great job to that agency tusla

00:32:54.200 tools a tusla however you pronounce it the incident is alleged to have happened in the early hours of

00:32:59.400 monday morning which would be the 20th of october 26 year old man was charged with sexually assaulting

00:33:04.520 the young girl at garter lane sagat co dublin contrary to section two and it gives the name of the law

00:33:10.680 a garter irish police officer told the court the man accused replied i have nothing to say when he was

00:33:16.360 charged he was granted free legal aid after he was after the court was told he was not working so it's

00:33:22.200 always lovely to know that the state is paying for such things he was remanded in custody to appear

00:33:28.280 in court on wednesday today when there will be a bail application so who knows if he will be able to

00:33:33.720 be out on the streets already by the end of today good luck if he is yeah if you just scroll down

00:33:40.040 because obviously so far we've got a very nondescript article here you know it's it's a man 26 year old

00:33:45.880 man 26 year old man of no description the irish right just yeah presumably irish but then you

00:33:52.440 scroll down a little bit and you find this little sentence here a defense solicitor requested an arabic

00:33:57.800 interpreter oh okay so this is one of those common arab speaking irishmen there's you know there's three

00:34:05.240 languages that the average white irishman speaks which is uh you know english irish and arabic

00:34:14.840 no no this is another case this is another case of a foreign asylum seeker a foreign invader coming and

00:34:24.760 assaulting young white girls in this case a poor 10 year old irish girl who was supposedly under state

00:34:32.360 protection because as it says here tussler is the dedicated irish state agency responsible for child

00:34:39.080 protection early intervention and family support services great job give a round of applause to

00:34:44.840 yourselves there guys fantastic work a girl was assaulted on your watch some um fantastic parallels

00:34:52.280 there with the segment i just did isn't there really you know random foreigner sadly and yeah innocent 0.98

00:34:58.280 girl it became very clear very quickly what had happened you see keith woods posting about this

00:35:05.000 this screenshot details of sexual assault at city west earlier today understood a 10 year old irish

00:35:10.520 girl alleged to have been raped by an african asylum seeker i would assume north african if they speak

00:35:15.880 arabic on the grounds of the hotel which is housing asylum seekers the girl is in tussler care but it gets 0.99

00:35:22.440 even worse because of course it can never just stop there can it there has to be an extra layer of

00:35:28.600 humiliation and disgrace put on top of a story like this which is that in the urgent review that has

00:35:35.720 been ordered by the state into the state of state care for these young girls uh well it turns out

00:35:43.480 one thing which is that the asylum seeker asylum seeker was already determined back in march to not

00:35:52.360 meet the criteria oh and had been issued a deportation order ah one of those back in march one of

00:35:58.680 those orders that don't actually get enforced so we are seven months out amazing seven months out from

00:36:06.440 this so this is something which directly could have been avoided if the state did their job i can't

00:36:11.800 believe people still make the argument for example that it's just uncivilized to deport these people

00:36:16.920 or let them in in the first place that these are just our friends and neighbors yeah no they're not

00:36:23.960 that's disgusting why should we trust any of these people and again this was somebody who was being

00:36:28.280 housed in this city west hotel which is literally right out which is literally the the site of where 0.91

00:36:35.000 this assault happened and people know that okay there's at least one rapist in there and they

00:36:43.160 weren't deported for whatever reason they were denied asylum they were certain to be deported but

00:36:47.640 they just weren't so the question becomes how many more are in there how many more how many more are the

00:36:55.640 state refusing to eject from my country and how unsafe am i how unsafe is my family a result as a result of

00:37:05.720 this and so they also mention here uh they say that uh 3 500 deportation orders were signed

00:37:13.000 this year compared to about 2 400 last year and the numbers seeking asylum is down about 38 percent

00:37:18.360 yeah but the orders don't matter if you don't enforce them it's redundant isn't it well we've we've

00:37:23.960 issued we've issued them so shut up and this and this is this was asked uh this was asked by a 0.62

00:37:30.040 mary lou mcdonald who is a the uh shen fenn leader she she asked can i ask how it is that

00:37:37.080 person issued for the deportation order remains in the country to which uh they said uh and she

00:37:43.640 also pointed out there are a number of other cases of children who'd gone missing and died

00:37:47.080 who were in the state's care at which point the apologies for my pronunciation here

00:37:52.680 taushik michael martin said that oh it's unfair to conflate this with other cases the other cases are

00:37:59.000 equally difficult and grave no it sounds like there's a big problem as well as keeping all of these

00:38:05.480 invaders in your country when they shouldn't be there in the first place and then when you 1.00

00:38:09.080 issue the deportation order you don't do anything with it it seems like there's a major problem

00:38:14.200 with this state protection agency not protecting children and we can only guess given this story

00:38:22.920 who is the ones making them go missing and making them die i have my thoughts and the people of ireland

00:38:30.920 in dublin also have their thoughts because obviously what happened was that there was a

00:38:35.640 protest on monday that went off without a hitch and then a protest again outside the same hotel

00:38:42.360 last night which escalated rather quickly because people frankly are sick and tired of seeing these

00:38:48.600 state authorities ignore what they ask for ignore the things that they're voted in for ignore the

00:38:54.920 safety of their communities in nor the well-being of their families people are sick of it and again

00:39:01.080 i don't condone this but i do understand it and this is just some of the early stuff keith woods was

00:39:06.520 there filming it and reporting it at the time city west asylum hub which has a migrant who is charged

00:39:11.880 with raping a 10 year old in state care and we can see first of all we get fireworks starting to get set

00:39:17.000 off apologies for the bad language there folks but i think you can understand why

00:39:35.000 and then just straight away in the background there here's keith speaking to camera there is a flaming

00:39:41.800 police van in the background let's hear what keith has to say i'm here at the protest at city west

00:39:47.400 hotel where a migrant an asylum seeker that was supposed to be deported stayed in the country

00:39:53.720 and raped a 10 year old irish girl that was in state care as you can see things are massively kicking

00:39:59.480 off here there's probably well over a thousand protesters unfortunately this is the first crime we've

00:40:05.400 seen like this even in the last year or two so things are really reaching a boiling point here

00:40:11.800 but the thing is like ireland's position in all of this is it it they're way further down the line

00:40:19.000 than we are in some respects because it's a small place and they're also suffering great economic

00:40:26.520 strife in ireland so when they see all of their taxes going towards this nonsense and this detritus

00:40:32.360 and then they get repaid by doing this they what do you expect to happen what do you expect like

00:40:39.640 honestly come on people have pointed out as well that similarly the irish don't have the same

00:40:45.800 there's no guilt is there they don't have the same guilt complex you can't pray on them and be like

00:40:49.400 well guys colonialism they're gonna go what do one mate no it's our land what you doing they also

00:40:57.080 don't have the same post-world war ii guilt complex as well because they basically sat the whole thing out

00:41:02.760 and some people try and foist that on them as a guilt complex some people uh suggest that that's

00:41:10.360 one of the reasons why they should take in million well hundreds of thousands of palestinians for 0.96

00:41:15.640 instance but the irish themselves don't actually agree they don't care they don't think that's

00:41:21.320 their problem they do think and they've got quite a glorious tradition of resistance yeah

00:41:27.560 blowing people up that they don't like yeah yeah so actual nationalism yeah i can understand why the

00:41:34.680 irish after having you know fought for their independence and all uh then having their same

00:41:40.360 leaders turn around and say now we open the floodgates to the third world might go hold up hold up

00:41:45.800 that wasn't the deal now you're going to get replaced yeah that wasn't that wasn't part of the deal

00:41:51.080 actually yeah you've basically essentially defeated the english now you're going to be flooded by

00:41:57.640 africans wait what wait what we never agreed to that thanks shin fame yeah cheers for that yeah well

00:42:04.520 done yeah so that's that's why they seem to be much more eager and much readier at a moment's notice

00:42:11.160 to just organize like this because as well fair place of the irish they are quite good at organizing

00:42:16.360 quickly and effectively yeah go on then i i've got a friend in ireland and he he's yeah he basically

00:42:22.120 says don't be surprised by the end of the week things go even like significantly a big step up

00:42:27.800 well this is that's the mood on the ground he said he he said he wouldn't be surprised if that hotel

00:42:33.000 goes up well this was tuesday we've got we've got we've got that's the mood on the ground we've got

00:42:37.800 the bail hearing today yeah so imagine that guy ends up on the streets oh yeah that's what yeah good

00:42:42.200 luck to him if he does yeah if that guy gets lucky he's never seen the inside of a prison cell no it's

00:42:47.240 not just the republic of ireland if you remember a few months back i think it was just before the

00:42:51.080 epping stuff kicked off alamora there's people in northern alamini they were northern irish yeah

00:42:57.080 yeah i think so uh they they got up in arms and started doing stuff yeah um yeah i mean

00:43:05.320 yeah and there's more footage of the police van burning uh with people saying you know as well 0.88

00:43:14.760 as that uh decades immigrants have raped european natives women and children and some men as well 0.96

00:43:19.480 believe it or not the irish have reached the point of no return we're all long overdue for that 0.80

00:43:23.960 politicians need to leave office and be held accountable with the police for facilitating

00:43:28.520 systematic paedophilia and the rape of their populations whilst protecting the rapists simple

00:43:33.560 statements of fact there yeah yeah i don't really care anymore now about what the guardian is trying

00:43:41.320 to gaslight us or someone like i don't know shammy chakrabarty or whoever there's and i don't care

00:43:47.240 about also english don't care about all of those people their feelings are dirt that tweet is a list of

00:43:55.720 facts it's like how how how how many times does this have to happen right like there's enough instances

00:44:03.240 now where people can just go yeah i'm done with this now this we're good like you can't prey on

00:44:07.480 guilt you can't try and virtue signal to me and i'm not interested i'm all out of this this is a

00:44:12.200 pattern we've recognized the pattern we've asked for it to be stopped you're not going to stop people

00:44:17.880 will just take it into their own hands and they will stop it i mean how many yeah how many how many 0.98

00:44:23.800 10 year old girls in care need to be raped yeah it's disgusting it's already been too many thousands 0.97

00:44:30.200 already for years for years decades at this point and i would say one was too many of course so at 0.99

00:44:37.080 this point we're well past the point of no return all by policy they all they also you know to show how

00:44:42.840 quickly they can organize they had horses i don't know if they're planning some kind of cavalry charge

00:44:52.520 classic irish no saddle yeah

00:45:01.880 this is

00:45:12.840 yeah so strong imagery strong rhetoric there this is our land get them out isn't it this is our land 0.78

00:45:22.760 of course and and if someone goes oh whose is it then who has jurisdiction over the land who is it

00:45:28.680 is it the irish in ireland yeah obviously same as english same as the english in england it's not

00:45:34.840 it's a statement of fact and statement of fact and if you're a leftist or a globalist or something you

00:45:39.960 see and hear that and are aghast by it what did you expect sorry there you go carry on no that's

00:45:47.160 the point what did you expect was going to happen yeah how many years has this been going on yeah

00:45:51.480 at what point did you like did you think that we're all just going to roll over at a certain point

00:45:56.360 we're just going to accept that that's what's you know the things that should keep happening we're

00:46:00.440 just going to accept it i'm like come on this is this is the taking it to its logical end

00:46:05.880 end point anyone with with half a brain cell could see that this was going to happen and now you end

00:46:11.320 up with what's this riot police forming a line in front of the hotel blocking bottles being thrown

00:46:17.320 at them by the protesters is this what these men signed up to be in the police force for well this

00:46:21.880 is the thing because loads of bleeding heart even even people on the right would be like well you

00:46:25.800 know the police they shouldn't be victims they shouldn't be there at a certain point the police

00:46:29.960 should go ah you know what actually this isn't right they have moral autonomy right they know

00:46:37.560 what's just as well they could sit this out they they could rather than simply going well we're told

00:46:43.480 to do that no no stop stop how many well again the question is the reason that people are out there

00:46:49.640 is we know for almost certainty given that it's still alleged that at least one rapist was in that

00:46:58.360 hotel the question then becomes well besides him if he's on bail what happens to him how many more

00:47:04.600 are there how many more and then do you imagine if it turns out there are two more three more a dozen

00:47:12.840 more in that hotel do you think those police officers can hold their heads high at the end of

00:47:17.880 the day and they get home and their daughter asks them what did you do today daddy oh i defended

00:47:24.120 a hotel full of rapists from people angry that a young girl was raped is that something that you

00:47:30.040 can be proud of is that something that you should be proud of is that something that the police should

00:47:34.520 be doing i know that everybody wants to try to refer to some idea of the rule of law fair play

00:47:42.440 guilty but like innocent before proven guilty but at the end of the day at a certain point those

00:47:48.520 terms became shields for corruption those words became just another way to distract from what is

00:47:55.640 going on and change the subject of the conversation from what everybody knows is happening and in history

00:48:02.920 it's very often the case that it's it's at that point when the police or maybe even the army

00:48:07.960 cossacks in st petersburg 1917 it might be when they decide oh no wait we agree with the protesters

00:48:15.480 to the point where they won't they won't do their state mandated job anymore that's the moment

00:48:24.200 that's when a years-long awaited change it's a type of will happen and it will happen very quickly

00:48:31.640 it's a type of very quickly the type of awakening and i've said this before is that

00:48:36.600 we're in this situation because these absolute

00:48:39.320 retards and globalists have a luxury belief system a luxury belief system bestowed upon them 0.99

00:48:47.000 by strong men that came before and at a certain point it will be strong men that reclaim it back

00:48:53.160 and you know push it to a safe position again but i do i i do think it has to be highlighted sadly the

00:49:01.320 complicity of the police officers who choose to go along with this right choice because this is this is

00:49:07.160 from the irish times this is a report on the 90 minutes of madness it was more about two and a

00:49:11.960 half hours really that it took for the uh violence to be quelled by the police in this because the

00:49:18.760 protest started at 7 30 people had been finally dispersed by about 10 o'clock or it didn't start

00:49:24.440 violence immediately but you know what i'm talking about here so to be able to actually put down

00:49:30.200 what was going on here the article reports on a better trained group of garde

00:49:35.480 garda however you pronounce it with new state-of-the-art equipment designed for urban public

00:49:41.560 order clashes overwhelmed the protest group in a way garda could not in dublin city this is talking

00:49:48.120 about last year even though they were vastly outnumbered in city west as the garda ran at the crowds

00:49:53.800 some of those presents shouted to each other to hold your line but to no avail amid the stampede to get

00:49:59.400 away garda used larger and more powerful pepper sprays some as big as fire extinguishers to target

00:50:06.600 the rioters every time a large volume of spray was discharged it wafted through the air lingering and

00:50:12.440 forcing a retreat in the crowd for a prolonged period so what they've done here this is a new squad

00:50:20.280 this is new equipment new methods targeted to put you down militarizes you the concerned parent at home

00:50:29.480 who doesn't want your children to be unsafe as they walk to school who doesn't want to think that if

00:50:37.000 for whatever reason there are children supposedly being safeguarded by the state that those girls are

00:50:42.680 actually more vulnerable than they once were this is designed to put you down if you're unhappy about

00:50:51.400 if you're upset about it then this is what they want this is they've specifically done this for you

00:50:57.320 they've got fire extinguishers full of pepper spray so they can pepper spray an entire crowd at once

00:51:04.120 for being upset that foreigners are allowed to just come in take their money get free representation in 0.88

00:51:10.440 court and rape their children you always know who the state sees as the enemy by the ratio the 0.56

00:51:19.880 comparative ratio in sizes proportionality of their military and their police if their police 0.98

00:51:27.320 is huge versus their military they view their citizens as the enemy right not other countries

00:51:35.160 obviously now this is a military this is a militarized police unit that is a militarized

00:51:42.360 police unit of course the people wanting their children to be safe are the enemies of those

00:51:47.320 people one small data point when i was outside the hotel protest that was going on in swindon a few

00:51:52.360 weeks back uh the police there was a couple of police there with cameras as they do nowadays and they

00:51:59.080 were only pointing their cameras at our side of course of course make sure they get everyone

00:52:06.200 the other side the lefty refugees welcome here side they didn't turn the cameras on them once that i saw

00:52:12.120 i mean it's just one data point but it's like it matters yeah the point you are making yeah the the

00:52:17.400 fire extinguishers full of pepper spray are for concerned parents concerned men

00:52:22.520 for the well-being of their own families yeah it's for you madness and uh obviously big shock the irish times

00:52:33.160 only mention very very far down in this article uh why they were protesting in the first place

00:52:42.040 and they only dedicate about a paragraph to it oh yeah here it is here it is so what like

00:52:47.480 most of the way through the article you get uh you get one paragraph oh here's why by the way

00:52:55.640 african man appeared before court charged with sexual assault on monday of a 10 year old irish

00:53:00.760 girl anyway what you should actually be caring about is that all of these uh divisive far-right protesters

00:53:09.000 were put down by our brave boys in blue that's what you should care about here's the minute by minute

00:53:15.240 breakdown of how they were able to brutalize concerned citizens thank you irish times and

00:53:24.760 speaking of the institutional corruption here's jim o'callaghan the minister for justice home affairs

00:53:29.880 and migration in ireland putting out this big statement of all the scenes of public disorder

00:53:34.920 we have witnessed at city west tonight must be condemned people threw missiles at the garda

00:53:39.560 threw fireworks at them and set a garda vehicle on fire is unacceptable result in a forceful response

00:53:46.440 from the police those involved will be brought to justice six have already been arrested it might be

00:53:51.320 more it won't help make it won't help uh to make anyone feel safe well you're flooded the country

00:53:57.240 full of barbarians mate no one feels safe as it is why do you think they're up there why do you think 1.00

00:54:03.160 they're doing what they do because they are not safe and you're putting them in that position you

00:54:08.440 morally bankrupt douche well this this what are you doing this mr o'callaghan has already made an

00:54:14.440 official statement i don't know how well sourced this would be or well supported saying that there's

00:54:19.800 no correlation of course no no correlation between the levels of crime in an area and whether or not

00:54:25.080 it's got a load of migrants dropped in there no correlation i'd like to see the statistics that he was

00:54:31.080 looking at to make that judgment but i doubt it i doubt it and this is again another warning from

00:54:39.240 the elites in charge saying don't do anything don't notice don't do anything the system which seems to

00:54:46.760 apparently according to the shin fen leader repeatedly put young girls in more danger than they otherwise

00:54:54.280 might be the system works the system works and again the major response that you see from people here 1.00

00:55:00.920 is uh you and mccabe here just saying fuck you 0.99

00:55:07.640 we told you this would happen again and again we've had enough you and your kind are responsible 1.00

00:55:12.600 and not only remove you from power but severely punish you too and i think that's one of the things

00:55:17.160 that these people are worried about and why it is that they are starting to really zig their heels in

00:55:22.680 which is that they know that if they're ever out of power that um people aren't going to treat them

00:55:29.000 kindly people are people aren't going to try and treat those who protected the people victimizing their

00:55:36.520 children kindly nor should you expect them to and again i would never encourage anything like this but

00:55:43.400 all i can say is that um of course we're getting to this point this was always going to happen with

00:55:50.200 things staying the way that they've been for 20 30 plus years right now ireland got it very suddenly

00:55:56.520 and very quickly and the irish weren't ever going to be happy about that so we'll see how the situation

00:56:02.120 develops i've never heard of this mr mccabe i like the cut of his jib that's a solid tweet again just

00:56:09.800 a just facts just a number of factual statements there and uh yeah we've had enough we've had

00:56:19.480 enough why it's embarrassing it's got anywhere near this far in the first place actually why would

00:56:23.560 anybody accept this how could anybody accept this but with that we'll see how the situation develops

00:56:29.400 i'll go to the super chats and rumble rants engage for you and bows britain these predators and

00:56:33.480 criminals will be fed posted then severely fed posted with a sharp fed post then deported by fed posting

00:56:40.520 thank you uh that's a random name are we going to get more fed posting i wonder both 100 right

00:56:46.280 similar circumstances led to what eventually became the french revolution boogaloos happened gradually and

00:56:50.840 then suddenly and then uh i'll carry on it's like an elastic band suddenly it fails boom there's a revolution

00:56:58.600 this uh people realize like this is the moment oh the thing we've been moaning about and talking

00:57:03.160 about for years and years and years humiliation upon humiliation upon humiliation we've done

00:57:07.240 nothing we've done nothing we've stayed quiet we've stayed home boom now's the moment that's how

00:57:11.400 it nearly always goes this is the snapback sigil stone yes harry this is what they signed up for

00:57:16.760 enforcing the power of the state what that enforcement means be damned apparently all britain needed to do

00:57:21.400 to hold on to ireland was i i don't uh these people when they were voting for the people that

00:57:28.760 they voted for this was not what why they were voting there will always be a state you want that

00:57:34.600 state to be on your side the irish sadly thought that they would be and i mean given the circumstances

00:57:39.880 why wouldn't they why wouldn't they assume that the state was going to be on their side after they'd you

00:57:44.440 know been fighting against the english for so long and then they just immediately turn around and betray

00:57:49.320 them yeah shin fein you would think you would hope you would have thought you know ourselves alone

00:57:56.920 that finally shin fein will stick up for irish interests to the hilt oh no they were sort of

00:58:05.400 marxists or something globalists all along right yeah good job nevermorn the hotel was purchased by

00:58:12.840 the government for about 250 million dollars so it's a permanent facility with different wings for

00:58:17.640 nationalities p.s the irish pm is pronounced tay shock a t-shock thank you thank you very much

00:58:24.920 for helping that uh me with that uh sigil stone as well said thank you for blowing out my eardrums

00:58:29.880 with that video i didn't need to hear today anyway apologies uh gimley oak loin says i'm afraid what

00:58:36.680 we're seeing in ireland is just a taste of what's to come in other places like england or germany really

00:58:40.520 hope i'm wrong though what are you seeing that in england though that's yeah right like i mean that

00:58:45.720 was what uh epping uh did yeah didn't get violent or anything the seal the seal was broken yeah you

00:58:52.200 can't put the the lid back on right like pandora's box is open now it's done as i've said this many

00:58:57.560 times when me and both have spoken is that i think it was last year with uh southport that that that was it

00:59:05.160 that broke the seal and ever since then it's been a snowballing effect you know more and more people

00:59:10.440 are waking up no one's no one's being subdued more and more people are waking up

00:59:17.800 stereotype says i've just been informed one of the migrants deported to france via the one-on-one

00:59:21.800 out scheme has returned to the uk by small boat what a joke of a government uh i would need to verify

00:59:26.920 that but would not be shocked if that's true thank you for letting us know i'll look into that

00:59:30.520 judas goat barbecue as the english poet john dryden said beware the wrath of the patient man

00:59:34.920 you can only take so much luke stewart i'm amazed the irish aren't doing what they were doing to

00:59:39.560 britain to their politicians means we don't have any rocket cars anyone got any bets whether we're

00:59:45.000 going to have politicians going to space and finally luke stewart youtube wouldn't let me say

00:59:50.440 pakistanis even if we have enough evidence of what's going on if this continues i worry what's going to

00:59:55.080 happen all right and with that shall we go into your segment bo okay okay so a little bit of light

01:00:02.520 relief compared to the last two segments um all right let's see what we've got oh all right a

01:00:11.400 smug looking frenchman um have you seen that the french crown jewels have been stolen or at least some

01:00:19.080 of them have you seen this yes have you heard about this i heard a woman was put in charge of protecting 0.52

01:00:24.040 them oh there is that angle i wasn't actually gonna talk about that okay but but yeah no yeah

01:00:28.040 the head of security at the louvre so a big heist went down when a robbery or a burglary turns into

01:00:34.200 a heist i don't know but heist is infinitely cooler isn't it yeah a robber you don't want to be a robber

01:00:41.640 you want to be you want to be the man behind the heist common as much burglar yeah no mate i'm not

01:00:47.400 a heist i'm not a cat burglar i um i do heists um i'm a professional so yeah maybe they left a note

01:00:55.960 yes this this heist a journalist do please refer to this as a heist in in when you when you write

01:01:01.960 this was a heist not a burglary yeah i mean it's like robber burglar cat burglar because at least a

01:01:07.480 cat burglar suggests they leave a calling card you know you've been hit by i don't know

01:01:13.160 le fromage or something it's like being an assassin is infinitely cooler than being just a murderer

01:01:20.840 isn't it yeah anyway i suppose getting paid for it um so that yeah there's a big heist in the middle

01:01:27.320 of paris in broad daylight on sunday morning and uh the french crown jewels for what they're worth

01:01:33.560 uh many of the pieces were stolen um so i didn't actually see about this until like what two days

01:01:41.320 later it wasn't sort of plastered all over the news yeah it wasn't as i'll show there is plenty

01:01:45.880 if you go looking for it but it wasn't sort of like headline news even though it's a massive deal

01:01:51.800 really i think what's crazy isn't it what is prioritized by the media now you know like things

01:01:56.680 which are largely you know things which will go down as this go down in history right like a hundred

01:02:04.200 years from now people will be like do you remember when the french crown jewels were stolen but it's not

01:02:08.440 prioritized by the media like culturally relevant things historically culturally relevant things are

01:02:13.640 just not prioritized yeah very weird it's a slap in the face to the french so we'll just ignore it 0.93

01:02:20.280 mainstream media we'll just ignore it yeah that's super important yeah history before our very eyes

01:02:26.680 um whoever did it probably weren't very ethical or virtuous individuals speaking of which

01:02:32.040 stelios has got a uh what seamless i think that was quite smooth um smooth operator uh stelios has got

01:02:43.080 a uh a series of lectures he's done which if you're interested you can go onto the lotus eaters website

01:02:50.200 and buy that um he is a phd uh in philosophy and from athens so a real life athenian philosopher

01:02:58.600 he's done i think it's a nine-part uh lecture series of courses on that so if you're interested

01:03:05.000 in that it is it's far better than just your average like youtube video that you'll get for free

01:03:09.640 like it's it's honestly like um probably better than most university courses you could take as well

01:03:15.320 it's explicitly that because at undergrad at university you will get a certain angle almost almost

01:03:22.840 certainly whereas with our stelios you just get the the sort of unvarnished uncut real deal

01:03:29.400 so if you're interested in that do consider heading over to the website okay so i'm interested in heists

01:03:36.520 who isn't the way i'm interested in espionage or interested in uh uh special forces raids all that

01:03:44.360 sort of thing i'm fascinated by it um so when there's ever a new one i always want to know the details

01:03:49.800 so i thought i could just talk about a few of them real quick before we talk about what went down

01:03:53.720 in paris at the louvre he's rocking an eyebrow a bit like yours mate this is where you got it from

01:03:59.320 i got it on purpose there's there's uh there's thomas blood from the 17th century dwayne the rock

01:04:05.480 johnson and me that's the lineage yeah genealogy of the eyebrow the people's eyebrow so there were again

01:04:14.440 in the uh in the uh in the 17th century in 1671 a chap called thomas blood tried to or did briefly

01:04:22.040 uh steal some of the crown jewels the english crown jewels um he's irishman actually and uh

01:04:31.720 he was there's very quickly very very quickly apprehended one that they they stole a scepter

01:04:36.600 and all burn a crown one of the many crowns in the in the british crown jewels he actually crushed

01:04:41.240 it a bit to get it under his cloak but anyway um he insisted that he wouldn't sort of answer any

01:04:46.840 questions or anything until we could speak to the king himself king charles and when he got any he

01:04:53.400 was given an audience with king charles and uh impressed him so much that king charles pardoned him

01:05:00.840 and gave him money gave his gave him his estates back and gave him a pension of like 500

01:05:07.560 pound a year which is quite a lot to be a fly on the wall how did he manage that no one's quite

01:05:13.000 sure historians just think that he must have been extremely charismatic and funny people said he made

01:05:19.160 charles laugh the irish charm clearly yeah it's like a charming rogue again there's some crimes that

01:05:26.120 are so audacious that you're sort of like oh well well done actually if anything i respect the brass

01:05:32.440 balls of you yeah yeah yeah i like i like your moxie kid you know so anyway yeah thomas blood 0.60

01:05:41.400 interesting uh when the other the great train robbery that's a classic one if you like robbery

01:05:47.160 stories heist stories you can't go far wrong with the great train robbery well back in 1963 it was the

01:05:53.400 biggest thing at the time 2.6 million quid they got away with which in today's terms is sort of more

01:05:57.960 like 62 million pounds and um so yeah that's like a classic staple if you're interested in

01:06:04.840 heists and robberies and things uh what's that one that's the brinks mat robbery in 1983 again

01:06:10.920 bit of a classic i can only hit some of the highlights here you're gonna have to give us your top five

01:06:15.800 okay well i think i've only got five or six or seven here there you go i'll assume because when you

01:06:20.360 actually look at all the sort of interesting and great heists there's actually loads of them right

01:06:25.080 throughout history loads and loads but most of these are british ones um yeah brinks matt they

01:06:31.640 got away with 26 million quid and in 1983 so nowadays that's something like 290 million

01:06:40.040 are all these ones where like there was no injuries nobody was murdered as a result of it was it just

01:06:46.280 usually someone gets hurt not always but usually someone has to be a bit battered at least i mean a

01:06:53.400 bit battered is is not as bad as actually killing somebody for it right right i mean these things

01:06:58.200 are usually relatively bloodless because the whole point is that you're supposed to yeah it's supposed

01:07:03.960 to be quick you're supposed to get away with it yeah and even if you do get caught you go down for

01:07:08.200 robbery not murder yeah usually usually armed robbers are not murderers it's a whole different thing

01:07:15.960 right usually not always but the brinks matt classic one i'll let people look into the details for

01:07:22.280 themselves uh the knightsbridge depot robbery in 1987 they got away with 98 million pounds sorry that

01:07:31.160 was what it was worth back then i don't even have the figures for what it was worth nowadays this is

01:07:35.400 like the aftermath of it a lot and this one was just cash cash um unmarked again yeah non-consecutive

01:07:43.960 unmarked cash can't go far wrong uh now another thing say is that they usually don't get away with

01:07:52.600 it most of the time big robberies you eventually even if it takes 20 years or something eventually

01:08:00.680 everyone gets caught it's very very rare that you get away with it forever and the the bullion the cash

01:08:08.120 the gems never turn up ever again it's very very very rare apart from anything else unless it's a one-man

01:08:13.080 job which is almost never the case uh robbers will almost always turn on each other so we're going

01:08:19.560 to try and rob this place we're hoping to get a few hundred grand maybe a million quid or whatever

01:08:22.840 oh we've got like 90 million quid suddenly infighting over who gets that killing each other classic thing

01:08:28.840 in um goodfellas right when uh jimmy the gent just starts whacking everyone else that was supposed to 0.75

01:08:34.520 get a cut of the left tons the highest that plays out that nearly always ends up playing out some

01:08:39.560 version of that um oh the millennium dome diamond class this was in the year 2000 i remember this

01:08:46.200 very clearly i was already like 18 or 19 years old at this point this was a classic one look into

01:08:51.160 the details this is really like something from a movie they had a speedboat they had a jcb digger

01:08:56.200 they had something it was brilliant they all got caught immediately they never even left the

01:09:03.160 premises at the millennium dome um yeah it was really like something out of a movie well planned

01:09:10.200 yeah yeah yeah um there's the jcb they're smashing into the old millennium dome the thing is the police

01:09:17.000 had them under surveillance and knew exactly what they were doing because imagine going through all

01:09:21.560 this planning you get a jcb you get a speed boat you think oh my god we're not only we're going to

01:09:27.400 get away with this we're going to be so slick they turn up and the police is just yeah immediately

01:09:31.880 caught immediately down the guy even like bought or rented the speedboat under the name like mr

01:09:37.880 diamond or something oh yeah yeah yeah it was everything about it is like a move they thought they

01:09:42.440 were movie gang uh movie heist masters the thing is right in most heist movies they all either die or get

01:09:49.960 caught anyway yeah so like don't try and be like the heist movies like even go back to like the

01:09:56.200 killings kubrick in 1950 like embarrassing get killed and caught reservoir dogs famously they all die 0.94

01:10:04.600 heat famously they all get caught or die don't do it in real life you nearly always get caught nearly

01:10:10.920 always um yeah so a little bit of advice to any kiddies out there don't don't don't do it crime

01:10:17.400 doesn't pay try and make a legit living if you can you know um yeah the police even removed the

01:10:23.320 real diamond if you want to be a real professional thief consider a banking career the police had had

01:10:28.200 them under surveillance for so long exactly what they were going to do down to the minute

01:10:31.800 uh that they even removed the real diamonds because in the millennium dome at the time it's

01:10:35.240 this giant diamond exhibition and they'd removed the diamonds for fake diamonds so even if somehow

01:10:40.360 they'd got away with it they just would have had a load of fake cut crystal or whatever brilliant um

01:10:45.720 yeah but they got in there and they smashed it they smashed it up and got in there

01:10:49.160 and uh but it was it wasn't like the i think the the world's biggest diamond was there in fact there

01:10:54.440 is right in the middle you can just about see it that's a fake one so okay um the uh after what

01:11:00.920 have i got after the millennium dome it's the one with lightning lee murray oh yeah securitas depot

01:11:05.400 robbery in 2006 now they did get away with it for a while they got tons money 53 million quid they

01:11:13.560 got away with uh again for a while eventually they were nearly all caught or all caught uh but like

01:11:19.960 again this is uh there's real guys there with guns in this one someone got bashed up a bit like not

01:11:25.000 killed but a couple of people i think they show them they meant business uh they like sort of bashed

01:11:30.360 them a bit and uh yeah like a proper it is like always like something out of movies why i'm

01:11:36.920 interested like a special forces raid or something it's fascinating uh no i don't massive shotgun there

01:11:44.440 yeah i mean someone officer out people want a bit of range these days i don't know what he's doing

01:11:48.440 there i mean it's always about intimidation isn't it yeah guy behind this one the mastermind was a ufc guy

01:11:56.200 lightning lee murray of ufc fame he ended he decided to be a robber yeah he's the only man that dana white

01:12:06.440 has said he's scared of but dana was used to being around crazy wild men and he said lightning lee

01:12:13.880 murray is one of the only men where in his presence he's scared that's what how much of a psycho he

01:12:18.440 was or is i mean he's imprisoned at the moment i believe uh there is with uh vanderlei silver sorry

01:12:24.360 anderson silver lightning lee murray and anderson silver there um yeah next one i've got the oh

01:12:30.680 hatton garden burger in 2015 you chaps must remember this one do you remember this one no 1.00

01:12:36.040 hatton gardens you really know a lot more about real life heists isn't is it lock stock and two

01:12:42.440 smoking barrels about heist isn't it yeah or everyone dies in that one too almost basically

01:12:47.400 yeah and if you do get away with it you'll turn on each other if you remember uh also like if you get

01:12:52.440 away with like tens of millions of pounds you split it let's say you split evenly you get like a tidy 20

01:12:58.520 million pounds like what then yeah how do you spend it without immediately coming up a cropper of the tax

01:13:06.840 man going like yeah where'd that come from yeah how have you just bought loads of fur coats and

01:13:12.040 brand new cars yeah yeah yeah and that's assuming you get like uh just clean cash yeah what if you've

01:13:19.800 got actually like bars of bullion you need someone then that can melt that down for you and do all

01:13:24.840 sorts of things or you've got diamonds like famous gemstones that are famous what you do with that and

01:13:30.040 then you've got to have the people doing all that for you if you're melting it down or going to a

01:13:34.360 fence you've got to trust them too suddenly there's not like four or five guys involved there's dozens

01:13:40.120 suddenly so that's why they nearly more and the risk increases more and more and more that's why

01:13:45.000 they nearly never get away with it yeah i mean don't you remember hatton gardens they drilled through

01:13:51.560 no i don't concrete wall i mean look at that that is that is cool i mean i'm not endorsing theft that is

01:13:57.640 cool but i feel like i should remember this but i was probably i'm playing video games at the time

01:14:03.320 that is kind of awesome i mean terrible yeah sorry yeah awesome stroke terrible um yeah oh well the big

01:14:12.040 one the biggest one ever was the central bank of iraq in 2003 just before saddam was deposed by

01:14:18.040 george w and tony blair he went to his own central bank sent one of his sons go basically get all the

01:14:25.000 cash again cash get it all out of there to the tune of 920 odd million dollars maybe a billion

01:14:32.760 dollars some people even say it was more maybe it was 2.5 billion dollars whatever it was an insane

01:14:37.640 amount of cash that saddam stole essentially from his own bank the vast amount of which has never turned

01:14:44.440 up um that's not actually uh from from that but anyway you get the idea loads of bullion went missing

01:14:52.120 after the invasion as well in iraq loads stripped three ways from sunday they got some of the cash

01:14:57.800 back but the vast majority of it disappeared disappeared so those guys some of those guys

01:15:02.680 anyway uh did get away with it uh oh yeah quickly say in 1911 this chap vincenzo perugia stole the

01:15:12.920 mona lisa from the louvre he worked there and he just hid in a cupboard at night until it was all

01:15:19.560 closed up come out took the mona lisa out of its frame high tailed it back to italy his motivation

01:15:26.440 was that he thought that mona lisa obviously because it's done by leonardo da vinci should

01:15:31.320 really be in italy should really be in the euphritzi in florence if anything the crime of

01:15:36.760 nationalist passion well yeah actually yeah yeah without without joking uh or he sat on it for a

01:15:42.280 couple of years he just kept it in his apartment for a couple of years then took it to italy and at

01:15:45.960 which point he told people about it let's look what i've done i'm the guy uh let's put it up in

01:15:51.480 the euphritzi and they're like no we're dubbing you into the french cops thank you very much and well

01:15:57.080 it still resides in the louvre to this day all right so let's talk about enough of all that enough of

01:16:01.400 that let's talk about what happened in paris sunday morning about 9 30 a.m sunday morning uh so in

01:16:07.960 broad daylight the museum was open by that point very little french people around though because

01:16:12.440 yeah it's too early notoriously uh early for the french not the uh earliest rises um

01:16:20.680 so they stole we'll get into the exact details of what they did they stole um

01:16:24.680 they stole a number of the crown jewels now the french crown jewels are nothing like the british

01:16:29.320 crown jewels the british crown jewels are truly something to behold there's a lot of them we've got

01:16:34.120 many many crowns it's not just the one coronation crown there's loads and loads of crowns look more

01:16:38.680 than one scepter more than one orb there's a great deal if you go to the tower of london the tower of

01:16:43.480 london at tower hill you can go you have to pay actually quite a lot to get into tower of london

01:16:47.080 but you can go there and see them all it's all on display basically the french the french version

01:16:51.320 is nowhere near as good because during the french revolution uh yeah the the revolutionists did away

01:16:57.400 with nearly all of it so when napoleon the first when he became the monarch he sort of started a new

01:17:06.600 collection so the french uh crown jewels are not like truly medieval stuff nonetheless they're still

01:17:12.680 remarkable pieces a lot of them are actually from the mid-19th century when napoleon the third who

01:17:17.800 was napoleon the first nephew uh a lot of them were sort of made in like more like the 1850s still

01:17:23.880 nonetheless absolutely well truly sort of priceless objects you know covered in diamonds and uh pearls

01:17:31.240 and rubies and emeralds and all that sort of thing and the provenance of it i it was actually worn

01:17:35.720 by an empress or whatever means that they're they're almost well they're sort of priceless

01:17:40.600 arguably i mean there is a price tag on them that's one of the things people have argued about it was

01:17:44.520 was what was stolen worth 70 million pounds was it worth 90 million pounds is it true that are these

01:17:50.440 like truly unique priceless objects in fact well anyway you can argue about that i think the historical

01:17:54.920 relevance of it is yeah yeah it must be so what these guys did is they they got this ladder this big

01:18:02.600 ladder and they drove it up along the sort of outside of the louvre uh on the seine there's

01:18:08.200 river seine at the bottom of that picture um and uh when you go and visit the louvre you go into that

01:18:13.560 middle courtyard where there's the pyramid there that's where you go in i've been to paris a number

01:18:17.880 of times been inside the louvre two or three times i've been the louvre once when i was a kid i remember

01:18:22.760 and i remember that pyramid yeah yeah that's where you go in you go in and down and that's where you buy

01:18:27.000 your ticket and go in now as you can see that whole thing is the the was once a palace or palace

01:18:32.840 complex really and the louvre's it's like the national portrait the national gallery and the

01:18:37.080 british museum all rolled into one much much more you can ever see in one day um so they didn't go in

01:18:43.960 the front door they went around the side effectively and um they got this uh this digger thing look truck

01:18:51.400 mounted ladder so it's definitely all of course it's all as a professional job they've thought

01:18:56.520 about this and premeditated of course of course it is there it is there's the cops now look at this

01:19:01.560 so they've got this ladder up to the first floor balcony which is still relatively high right it's

01:19:07.560 not like one it's actually the equivalent of like two stories in normal tone yeah because the ceilings

01:19:13.320 were super high so 9 30 a.m broad daylight four guys some of first account said it was three but

01:19:19.400 it looks like there was four guys clamber up this ladder to this balcony and inside inside that door

01:19:27.320 that window is the apollo gallery which is where the crown these french crown jewels 19th century

01:19:34.440 crown jewels were housed i've been in that room myself a couple of times um so wonderful never

01:19:40.200 taken by the urge to just pocket something well they're covered in uh what you would think would

01:19:45.960 be like bulletproof smash proof cases but seems not to have been where's your ambition there's

01:19:51.800 this thing that people think that like it's in movies that art galleries and museums are like these

01:19:56.200 super tight things where they'll be like there's lasers yeah you're descending from the ceiling on

01:20:01.800 a wire and then you've got to dodge all the ladies propaganda guys stop you from doing it and if 1.00

01:20:06.760 you do something they'll just be like shutters that just go come down and you it's not like that at

01:20:11.640 all the british museum the national gallery the louvre is nothing like that these are old buildings

01:20:17.480 the buildings themselves are a couple hundred years old and they're not fitted with that sort

01:20:21.480 of thing it's just that's just all movie nonsense not that you know well as far as i'm aware yeah

01:20:27.080 as far as i'm aware well yeah yeah you got me there nate so this is this this is like the apollo

01:20:33.640 the apollo gallery i mean in and of itself the space is incredible isn't it um and so this is

01:20:40.680 some of the items that they stole uh one of the uh very very uh unique tiara there one of the crowns

01:20:51.400 apparently on their way out they dropped one different accounts are saying different things

01:20:54.840 some say they were in and out in four minutes flat other accounts are saying those more like seven

01:20:58.600 minutes one thing i saw said there was actually nine minutes uh but they're in like these cases

01:21:03.480 as you can see and mock up there with like see-through glass and you would think again it would be like

01:21:09.160 bulletproof or whatever but whatever it was it wasn't strong enough again we haven't really got

01:21:13.800 the details of whether they had power drills or whether it's just crowbars or whatever it seems like

01:21:18.520 quite quickly within a small number of minutes smashed that open grabbed what they could went out the way

01:21:23.560 they came just went out the way they came oh yeah the empress eugenie who was napoleon the third's

01:21:31.480 wife there she's wearing that tiara um yeah they come went back out the way they came clambered down

01:21:37.240 that ladder again they had waiting yamaha scooters boom off into the parisian day no one's seen hide

01:21:46.520 nor hair of them since as of recording this these guys are still at large oh i did i thought they'd

01:21:51.800 already been caught at the minute they've gotten away with it how many days ago was it now it was

01:21:58.680 sunday morning sunday morning and we're now on wednesday afternoon oh there's plenty of time

01:22:03.080 well the first few hours like a lot of crimes the first few hours are the critical hours

01:22:06.680 if you can get away enough uh if this amount of time has passed it start the odds are sort of in

01:22:11.800 their favor having said that as we said as i said earlier in this segment this sort of thing very

01:22:16.840 rarely get away with it it might be 20 years down the line but i i suspect they won't get away with

01:22:22.600 it well this is also some of the most famous jewelry in the world so how do you begin to move

01:22:27.240 that that's the thing do they sit on it for years and years and years wait for the heat to die down

01:22:33.320 and then maybe try and put some feelers out even then they're going to be on high alert for these things

01:22:38.440 forever i think their fear is is that they're going to break it down into its constituent parts basically

01:22:43.960 that's the worry only a couple of different scenarios could play out one you've already

01:22:48.920 got some sort of crazy billionaire buyer some sort of mastermind james bond villain mastermind

01:22:56.280 who says just steal these pieces and i'm going to keep them for my private collection we're not

01:23:00.040 going to tell anyone about it ever and it'll be the perfect crime we will get away with it

01:23:03.880 that's again movie stuff that sort of thing hardly ever happens there's one or two examples of

01:23:08.440 something like that going down um but that sort of hardly ever happens or you've just got uh you'll

01:23:14.600 sell them to uh other fencers and who knows where they go or you break them down you know you take the

01:23:23.400 individual pearls and diamonds off of these things and sell them all individually so so what you're

01:23:28.120 suggesting is there's a non-zero chance that elon musk had these stolen to give to his e-girl wife baby

01:23:35.400 mamas can we account for mr musk's uh whereabouts at 9 30 a.m french time sunday morning if not

01:23:45.720 he's clear he's courting more e-girls with the it wasn't it wasn't people it was tesla bots

01:23:52.840 oh my god he sent in the tesla bot it's less likely to be elon and much more likely to be george soros

01:23:57.800 or something isn't it he's gonna be dead soon yeah is he still going he is like late 90s at this

01:24:03.800 point it's ridiculous so as you say these are the individual items are famous how do you move them

01:24:11.480 how do you move them i wrote a short story once where it was someone stealing like an individual 0.63

01:24:16.120 like piece of priceless art and it was so that he could just keep it in his home forever and never

01:24:21.800 tell anyone about it never let anyone else in that room uh because that's the only way you get away with

01:24:26.360 it a one-man job yeah and you it's just for you now it's in my attic yeah yeah that's the only way

01:24:32.680 you can really get away with it ultimately i suspect these these guys one way or another will get caught

01:24:37.480 they nearly always do uh but so it's all over the news there's a sort of endless articles here uh that

01:24:42.120 yeah here saying it's a four-minute operation uh we just got tons of headlights how headlines how brazen

01:24:47.960 it was it's very very brazen as well right yeah gotta have uh the day gotta have some hojones to

01:24:54.200 even attempt it right to even attempt it that's why i think you know it's sort of the uh you gotta give

01:25:02.680 it to these guys they got they got balls if nothing else um but there's also like the worry of sort of

01:25:07.800 the breakdown of of civilization in some way because any sort of patriotic good frenchman wouldn't dream

01:25:14.520 of doing this it's his heritage isn't it yeah it's his history and heritage um i know the french

01:25:21.720 have had a bit of disrespect to their history and heritage in the past you're saying this is like an

01:25:26.440 arch leftist republican who hates monarchy probably probably not but there's an again non-zero chance

01:25:33.640 right yeah yeah where where was macron that morning can we account for his whereabouts um okay so

01:25:42.920 there's just lots and lots of lots and lots of uh headlines but my time has run out but uh yeah i

01:25:48.760 mean just to say even though i've been sort of um putting a rose tint on heists in general obviously

01:25:54.600 stealing things at all is is despicable and just to make it clear i absolutely hope these guys get

01:26:01.480 caught yeah i really really hope they haven't broken down these priceless artifacts um i feel sorry for

01:26:11.080 french people that value these items as part of their history and heritage i absolutely have

01:26:17.880 sympathy for them if this happened to our crown jewels in the tower of london i'd be sickened to

01:26:24.280 my core i'd be outraged right so it's only a little bit less i feel like that for the french here i really

01:26:31.640 hope these guys do get caught and all these items are returned to their rightful place in the louvre

01:26:36.600 where everyone can go and see them all right and with that we'll go through the last of the um

01:26:43.400 rumble rants and super chats engage few crime doesn't pay tell that to congress oh good point

01:26:48.760 international banker or politician there's your thieving career sorted that's a random name car

01:26:53.720 video carl's video highlights the woman in charge changed the display cases to be more modern

01:26:58.360 the old ones were made so that if the glass was somehow broken the jewels would fall into safes

01:27:02.760 genius change if that's true sigil stone you know frenchmen did it because they left behind 0.98

01:27:08.760 the huge diamond that's famously cursed the immigrant would have shown no such caution 1.00

01:27:13.400 that's true uh perhaps sigil stone again in bose britain no vault safe or lockbox will be protected

01:27:19.720 from his highness reenacting his favorite heist movies i do think just on the point of whether it was

01:27:25.400 frenchmen or foreigners i do think the there's those blast points are too accurate for sand people 0.99

01:27:32.280 yeah i agree he's quite a high level of organization uh you know only imperial stormtroopers are so

01:27:39.400 precise ochridor says there was a display update recently where they changed the cases carl did a

01:27:44.920 youtube video on it again yeah sounds like he has we'll have to check it out it's that one rednaught logan

01:27:50.520 i know the way i know a way the french can can some crown jewels i can get some crown jewels

01:27:56.840 let england rightfully take the throne back also did the guardians did the guards hear german before

01:28:01.960 they ran away sir squatch uh what what i've seen from the traitorous celts this is more related to

01:28:08.280 mine is that the irish have been immigrants in the past so now they owe it to the world to take 1.00

01:28:12.760 infinite migrants yeah there's only like nobody logic nobody cares about that logic anymore it's 1.00

01:28:18.040 bullshit it's it's it's deceptive it's a lie so no anyway we've got video comments so let's watch 0.95

01:28:32.520 and now here's a short video from my balcony here in beautiful lake placid new york 1.00

01:31:55.480 to the media he's supposed to be he's supposed to be mussolini hitler and oswald mosley put together

01:32:03.160 what about mo lesters when in fact he's just an internet grifter yeah yeah uh again if his cameo

01:32:10.280 is still open see if you can see if you can uh pay for him to uh shout out the lotus eaters yeah shout 0.57

01:32:15.640 out lotus eaters and apologize to beau and dan and dan yeah through cameo yeah he might reject that

01:32:23.720 one but anyway he wouldn't do that would he i have no mouth and i must scream is an interesting short

01:32:28.120 story but i find it rather limited and poorly conceived in his collected works other better

01:32:33.160 tales to be found such as repent harlequin said the tick tock man describing the importance of

01:32:38.280 being a free spirit in a world of rigid rules the discarded describing people's need for compassion

01:32:43.560 and belonging and their credulity when dealing with dishonest people and my favorite the crackpots

01:32:48.920 about a world of insane people monitored by overseers who do not realize that the insane are actually

01:32:53.960 highly intelligent uh like i like uh i have no mouth but i'm a scream you've mentioned it before

01:33:00.920 i need to actually read some yeah i've not read harlan ellison i also really really good i also maybe

01:33:12.360 some of the more famous ones are you not a fan of his i just think he's a pudgy loser now what now 0.55

01:33:18.360 yeah yeah what a line line he's spat in the face of everyone that likes him that is made of a 0.99

01:33:24.600 millionaire at one point he was a very accomplished fantasy sci-fi short story writer well and he wrote

01:33:31.480 endings for them as well as you lose him well yeah but you know i want he's still got some good works

01:33:36.600 under his belt i want luca to do the old man in the sea not familiar hemingway ernest hemingway oh no

01:33:42.600 i've not read hemingway a short novella a bit poe yeah i need i need an excuse to read poe good

01:33:48.920 thing with what luca does is there's an endless well of of literally all of literature all of literature

01:33:56.840 yeah ever yeah anyway hello teachers i'm in blackpool and local reform uk candidate mark buttress and a

01:34:06.440 fantastic job in raising the course you can see the tower there and the england flags all the way

01:34:16.440 and down all the way to the pleasure beach that's a flag that was a big on top of the tower itself

01:34:23.480 yeah i mean that is a very yeah english place outside the maragon hotel too

01:34:28.520 right chubby brown is he still about apparently apparently so yeah yeah i've not been blackpool

01:34:37.160 in like 10 years i need to take a visit is never been is it is it as dingy as i remember i've been

01:34:44.200 there once probably 10 years ago and it was relatively dingy because because even then blackpool is one of

01:34:50.520 those towns where i remember the waterfront's all right but if you go one road past the waterfront into

01:34:56.760 town crack alley less so but i might be misremembering so and i want to take a visit anyway because my

01:35:03.080 missus keeps nagging me i say dingy it wasn't that dingy and was quite fun yeah i don't want to just

01:35:09.080 dunk on blackpool for no reason i've got a great many good memories as a child of uh riding the donkeys

01:35:15.160 on the beach yeah when i was a lot littler and wouldn't that's actually one of the um one of the major

01:35:21.640 uh uh victims of mass immigration uh donkey sanctuaries i looked into this really yeah i

01:35:28.040 looked into the other day it was really sad sad to see actually like a lot of the dog no one's going

01:35:32.040 to them anymore all the donkey sanctuaries yeah so if you're watching in your england go to some 0.98

01:35:36.840 donkey sanctuaries and support them because they're well worth supporting if you've got kids

01:35:41.080 kids love donkeys too yeah they're well worth supporting i went to a local farm recently with my

01:35:46.520 family that had you know loads of animals on it and they had donkeys on it and my daughter loved

01:35:51.800 things she thought they were lovely it's all those cultural things that we used to do you know and all

01:35:56.440 the time now mass immigration has sort of phased all of that out it's become a you know not a cultural

01:36:02.680 norm and you need to rekindle it a little bit well said what have we got here on saturday the 11th

01:36:09.800 i visited london with friends and we stopped off in whitechapel the station was full of foreigners 0.99

01:36:13.880 an advert for the islamic foundation on the ten star doors the station name written in some

01:36:17.400 wiggly script and outside in the street within view of the skyline of canary wharf a market made

01:36:21.720 up of foreign men peddling normal wares only the pub we went to the blind beggar felt english with 1.00

01:36:26.200 white people being the majority it was like stepping into another world seriously on a more positive note 0.95

01:36:30.760 we got to see the actual bullet hole where ronnie craye shot george connell on 9th of march 1966 which

01:36:35.560 they framed alongside the original wallpaper love it nice also just to clarify that was not alex ogle

01:36:41.240 that was then scotty right yeah i uh the white chapel is the belly of the beast around bow road

01:36:49.080 white chapel all that all that area is is the worst of the worst i've been in the blind beggar 1.00

01:36:55.560 loads of times in my life uh yeah it's where the craze yeah it's all around mile end that's their

01:37:01.720 manner uh so yeah i've been in the blind beggar at least half a dozen times yeah so and it is exactly

01:37:09.000 as you said it is like a little oasis of sort of old school east end i think you're surrounded by an

01:37:14.040 ocean of uh of uh muslims yeah most pubs tend to be an oasis of englishness because yeah that's true 1.00

01:37:22.920 are english so that's why they muslims don't drink yeah that's why they want to turn them into islamic 1.00

01:37:27.880 bookshops or mosques as quickly as they possibly can mm-hmm uh let's give it two minutes till 22 and read 0.95

01:37:34.520 a couple of um comments on here uh jimbo the gambit of deliberately importing foreign men on

01:37:40.120 the mass then blaming all men for their transgressions will go down as one of the most toxic abusive uses

01:37:45.160 of political power in this country unfortunately for jess who has made a career out of labeling and

01:37:50.200 demonizing her dissenters she can't speak the truth because of a culture she helped cultivate

01:37:54.280 apparently this means we all have to be trapped in her mental prison yep uh well put don't know if 0.96

01:38:00.520 there's much else to say there kevin fox if the garter had a half-decent commander he did turn them

01:38:05.160 around and marched into the hotel and use the shields and baton to clear everyone from the hotel and

01:38:09.400 into vans to the airport the police should be the vaccine for the rape epidemic instead they are

01:38:15.240 protecting the disease as i said at the end of their work day can they go home daughter asks them

01:38:21.320 daddy what did you to do today can they proudly hold their head up and say they did good that they

01:38:27.160 serve justice no no clearly clearly not henry ashman the most depressing part of this heist is the crown

01:38:35.960 jewels would be very difficult to fence as is so unless this is an insurance scam they will most

01:38:41.640 likely have been destroyed and melted down or recut so these priceless historical artifacts are likely

01:38:45.960 destroyed and lost forever to me this is on a par with isis blowing up ancient archaeological sites or

01:38:51.000 heresy yeah if if the speculation there is true and i think there's a good case you know that is

01:38:56.760 heartbreaking one thing i absolutely agree with that 100 agree with that one thing i will just

01:39:03.320 reiterate is that these are largely from the mid 19th century not sort of truly medieval or ancient

01:39:11.160 but nonetheless it's only still though wonderful cultural artifacts of course absolutely of course

01:39:16.600 i mean i mean napoleon and everything that he birthed afterwards is enough of a a cultural touchstone

01:39:22.040 in history such a such an incredible time as such an incredible figure to make it relevant all by

01:39:26.920 itself if you want to know uh who did away with the truly the real french uh crown jewels was it a

01:39:35.160 bunch of dysgenic angry freaks leftists yeah love it the left who love culture so much 0.54

01:39:44.280 yeah who look who love their own anyway uh wait no you didn't even finish where should where should 0.84

01:39:50.840 people find that out is it sorry box what who destroyed the original crown jewels of france yeah

01:39:58.440 me and cole did a multi-part series on napoleon and i think the first episode of that it's a very early

01:40:04.040 epochs it was in the first six months or so the very first episode of that is all about sort of just

01:40:08.200 the pre-napoleonic setup so yeah we talked about it there actually yeah very early epochs there you
